When her beloved didn't appear as she expected, Jiang Yu felt her heart full of tenderness suddenly blocked, leaving her feeling stuck and uncomfortable.
Jiang Yu blushed a little when she thought about the familiar tone she used when she opened the door, only to find out that the other person was a stranger.
I was speechless...
But she didn't recognize this person. What was he doing here?
"Li Junyang? Do we...know each other?"
Jiang Yu was even more puzzled.
She had absolutely never heard of that name.
And we've never seen each other anywhere before.
"Now that we know each other, don't we?"
Now, observing Jiang Yu up close, her appearance is noticeably more attractive than the distant glance she had taken before, or the black-and-white photo in the documents.
Exquisite features, and eyes that even the Creator would admire.
Such a beauty, no... I should say a beauty among beauties, is very rare these days.
Otherwise, Li Junyang wouldn't have gone to such lengths to create a second opportunity to meet Jiang Yu after their first meeting.
"Even Shen Yanxin would probably pale in comparison to Jiang Yu in terms of looks, right?"
Li Junyang's eyes flickered as he silently recited in his heart.
Although Shen Yanxin is one of the few beauties in the world, compared to Jiang Yu, Shen Yanxin is far too perfect.
In terms of family background, academic performance, appearance, and even physical health, Shen Yanxin is outstanding among her peers.
But what about Jiang Yu?
Li Junyang looked down and saw the wheelchair where Jiang Yu was sitting.
Compared to Shen Yanxin, Jiang Yu possessed a more broken quality.
Li Junyang, who was used to seeing beautiful women, had never seen anyone with such a sense of fragility before.
Perhaps because he was used to eating delicacies, Li Junyang thought that with Jiang Yu's poor family background, winning her over should be a piece of cake.
"Sorry, I'm still waiting for my friend. If there's nothing else, please leave now."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, her hand on the doorknob, ready to close the door at any moment.
She doesn't like people who are overly familiar with others.
Jiang Yu's experiences before meeting Xia Che made her accustomed to the coldness and warmth of the world, which also cultivated her vigilance.
"It's like this, don't misunderstand, I'm not a bad person."
Li Junyang paused, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He hadn't expected this girl to be so wary... Then, he smiled and raised the briefcase he was holding, saying casually, "Let me introduce myself first. We are alumni of the same high school. You should be in Class 7, right? I'm in Class 1."
"Don't be surprised how I know you're in Class 7. It's like this... The house you're currently living in recently caught the eye of my family's business. They plan to develop this urban village into a new development zone. In other words..."
"Since the previous owner, Cai Huafen, has passed away, you are now the owner of this house. Congratulations, you are now a recipient of relocation compensation."
Li Junyang smiled faintly, secretly anticipating the look of admiration on Jiang Yu's face.
Someone like her must only have contact with people from the lower rungs of society on a daily basis, right?
How could I possibly come into contact with people of my social class?
It was one thing to not know one's identity before, but now that one knows...
Then, one's attitude towards oneself will definitely undergo a complete 180-degree turn.
Li Junyang had seen many people like this, and he believed that Jiang Yu would not be the exception.
"Really? What a coincidence?"
But Li Junyang was destined to be disappointed. Unaware of the danger, he went wild in Jiang Yu's minefield. Her expression instantly turned cold, and now it showed even more disgust than before.
Grandma's death is a knot in Jiang Yu's heart.
If she could, she wouldn't want to become the head of the household and then be a recipient of relocation compensation.
But that's also where the problem lies.
Jiang Yu had no choice at all.
Seeing Li Junyang's smug expression, as if everyone only cared about money and that they should be grateful to him as long as they had money, Jiang Yu was truly disgusted.
"Of course, your house wasn't originally in the plan. I included this area in the development zone for some reason. If you're interested, perhaps we could talk somewhere else?"
Li Junyang raised an eyebrow, sensing that his prey had taken the bait. He glanced into the room and chuckled, "It's a bit cold outside; it doesn't seem suitable for chatting."
Now that things have come to this point, Jiang Yu should at least let me in, right?
Li Junyang had already made a plan: when he went in, no matter how dilapidated Jiang Yu's house was, he couldn't show any disgust.
have a look!
The young master who owns the development zone has condescended to be a guest in a small, dilapidated house, and he doesn't even mind the surroundings.
What lofty integrity this is!
Could someone with such noble character be a bad person?
This was only the first step in Li Junyang's plan.
First, get along well with Jiang Yu, ideally becoming friends, and then deal with the rest later.
Li Junyang knew that for girls from poor families like this, as long as outsiders showed a little kindness, coupled with a period of caring and concern, and at most spent some money, it was only a matter of time before they could completely win her over.
However, considering that Jiang Yu's house was included only after Wen Chenlu made an offer, Li Junyang decided that he couldn't rush things and had to take it one step at a time.
During this period, we should first find out what the relationship is between Jiang Yu and Wen Chenlu before making any plans.
"No need. Since my home is designated as a demolition area, I'll just go to the neighborhood office myself tomorrow. Sorry."
Just as Li Junyang was indulging in his fantasies, Jiang Yu's patience had reached its limit, and she closed the door expressionlessly.
Snap—
The door closed in front of Li Junyang.
Without any hesitation or fuss.
Clearly, the other party didn't really want to chat with Li Junyang from the beginning.
"..."
Li Junyang stood blankly outside the door, still holding out his hand, clearly not expecting Jiang Yu to reject him so decisively.
There wasn't even the slightest sign.
"...It's okay, I'll go to the neighborhood office tomorrow too. This is your first time experiencing demolition, so you probably don't have much experience. I'll help you."
Li Junyang took a deep breath, suppressing the violence in his chest, and forced a smile. After saying these words, he turned and left.
"What are you pretending for, you bitch... Don't you even know if you have the right to act all high and mighty? If I didn't want to try something different, would you have the right to give me attitude?"
Li Junyang turned around, his eyebrows twitching, his expression momentarily contorted with rage.
He almost lost control of his temper.
Perhaps because of the vast difference in their status, Li Junyang felt it was only natural for Shen Yanxin to give him the cold shoulder, since the other party was indeed outstanding and had the right to do so.
But why should a poor, crippled man be allowed to throw his weight around?
